4. Tatūnga me te Tāuta
Follow these steps for safe and correct installation of your energy monitor.
4.1 Rarangi Arowhai i mua i te whakaurunga
- Ensure you have basic electrical knowledge or consult a qualified electrician.
- Confirm your electrical system is single-phase.
- Have necessary tools: screwdriver, wire strippers, multimeter (optional).
- Ensure a stable 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network is available at the installation location.
4.2 Tāutanga Tinana
- Weto Whakakore: Locate your main circuit breaker and turn off the power to the circuit where you intend to install the monitor. Verify power is off using a voltage Kaiwhakamatautau.
- Maunga te Aroturuki: The OWON Energy Monitor is designed to fit on standard 35mm DIN rails. Securely attach the monitor unit to the DIN rail within your electrical panel.
- Waeahia te Kaihiko hiko: Connect the Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires from your circuit breaker to the corresponding L and N terminals on the energy monitor. Input voltagKo te awhe ko 90-250VAC.
- Install the Current Clamp (CT):
- The CT must only be clamped around the Taea ora of the circuit you wish to monitor. Do not clamp it around both live and neutral wires, or only the neutral wire.
- Connect the CT's output wires to the 'Circuit 1' terminals (1- and 1+) on the energy monitor.
- Direction of Current Flow: The arrow on the CT clamp indicates the direction of current flow. For measuring energy consumption, the arrow should point in the direction of the current flow (e.g., from grid to load). For measuring energy generation, the arrow should point opposite to the current flow (e.g., from inverter to grid).

4.3 App Setup (Tuya Smart Life)
- Tikiake App: Download the 'Tuya Smart' or 'Smart Life' app from your mobile device's app store.
- Rēhita/Takiuru: Waihangahia he kaute, takiuru ranei ki to putea o naianei.
- Tāpiri Pūrere: Restore power to the circuit. The monitor should enter pairing mode (usually indicated by a blinking LED). In the app, tap '+' to add a new device. Select 'Electrical' > 'Power Clamp' or 'Energy Monitor'.
- Tūhono ki Wi-Fi: Follow the in-app instructions to connect the monitor to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your Wi-Fi password.
- Whirihoranga: Once connected, you can name the device and assign it to a room. The app will then display real-time energy data.
